Blow for Liverpool as Neymar and Mbappe could be fit for Wednesday Champions League Clash

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe could be fit for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Liverpool.

The Paris St-Germain duo handed the French club a shock after both limped off in international friendlies for Brazil and France respectively.

But their manager, Thomas Tuchel, believes the pair could be ready to face the Reds at the Parc Des Princes this week - and will be rested for the Ligue 1 game with Toulouse this weekend.

This is what Thomas Tuchel said:

"We will not take risks with Neymar and Mbappe, tomorrow they won't be available," 

"They'll possibly return for Liverpool. 

"As we speak, now, I think that Neymar will be able to play against Liverpool. However, we will have to speak with the medical staff. 

"Today, I think that both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will be able to play against Liverpool."

The Ligue 1 club suffered a nightmare night on Tuesday after Neymar had a groin injury when trying to play a cross into the Cameroon penalty area just eight minutes into the game.

Meanwhile, Mbappe was substituted after just 34 minutes in France's friendly with Uruguay after suffering an apparent shoulder injury after landing clumsily beneath goalkeeper Martin Campana.

Liverpool travel to Paris next Wednesday for their next to last Champions League group game, leaving both players with a race against time to be fit.
